Everything you need in a grill

Purchased this grill after exhausting research, Basically the same grill as C.R. ******** recommendation only in enameled red. Took ~ 2 hrs to assemble however all that is needed is a phillips head screwdriver. There is one thing I did different then the instructions and that is lowering the back brace using only 2 screws instead of the 4 in order to have quick easy removal of the drip pan. Having said that this grill heats very quickly and the porcelain coated cast iron grates are easy to clean and one of its best features in a grill of this price range. 2 things I recommend.... 1.) before cooking anything spray grates with Pam spray or equivalent this helps make them more non stick (much like grandma's cast iron frying pans) and 2.) Cover the drip pan with Aluminum foil this helps with clean up and also protects the aluminum drip pan from being eaten up by the juices and salts from your grilling, and the Aluminum foil is much easier to replace then hoping to find another drip pan

Pretty loking POOR burners

Great LOOKING grill but grills are all about the burners and this grill has problems - burners never get really hot, and the searing burner that is supposed to glow red hot like an electric space heater , shot out flames and made a very strange noise when used - I don't trust this burner and fear that it will explode. This is the second exact model I purchased- one in Ct in 2012 and one in FL in 2013. The first one had the searing burner blow after 11 months and Sears was great at sending out a repairman and ordering the part but it took several weeks and a error in ordering to actually get the correct part- by that time winter set in and I never really tried the replacement. The newest purchase surprised me because the searing burner immediately started out faulty- shooting up flames instead of actually being a glowing hot burner- and that noise- very strange- Shame on me for trying the same grill with Sears!

I purchased this grill because of its features (side-burner, battery start, sear burner), its good looks and the Kenmore name. I use a grill a lot, even in the winter time, and at first I was reasonably satisfied. There were some cold spots on the grill surface, but nothing I couldn't work around, and the convenience of the side burner for frying outside was very welcome.
Why the one star? After one year the electric start stopped working. After 16 months the deflectors rusted through, and then the metal base/drip pan developed a massive rusted hole. Finally after 18 months all three regular burners rusted through their welds and now lie at an angle beneath the also rusted through deflector and above the rusted through base/drip pan. All that's left that works is the sear burner and the side burner. If you look at other one star reviews you'll see the same story repeated over and over again. It still looks good, but is only marginally functional and may be somewhat dangerous given the fact that there's not much of a firewall left between the remaining burners and the gas tank.
This is not a cheap grill and I thought Kenmore meant quality... but not in this case. You'd be better off buying a $100 grill and knowing you will have to replace it after two years, than buying this at three times the cost and still having to trash it after the same period of time.

I bought this grill 7 months ago . It has always had a cover and properly taken care of. It quit working so I called to have someone to come out to look at it cause it was still under warranty. Come to find out all the inside parts of the grill was rusted . That's why nothing was working. Ignite button on the inside of it etc.. But the outside really didn't have but a small amount of rust on the handle. Kenmore don't cover rust no matter what. Is a grill not suppose to be left outside ?? This is not my fault and I'm highly upset. A waste of 350$

Excellent grill. Love the searing burner option. Found out that you should not light the searing burner until you light the other burners first. The searing burner draws most of the gas and the other burners had trouble igniting.

Piece of **** wrapped in a pretty package! I bought this grill because I thought "Kenmore" meant quality, it looked nice & the color complemented my homes exterior. The poor design forces all the smoke into the cooks face, the burners never quite heated evenly & in less than 1 year, the burners & complete bottom of the grill disinegrated. Would have taken this back to the store, but too nasty, unstable & would have had to borrow or rent a truck.

Year and a half old and drip tray caved in due to rust.
This will become my least durable grill ever.
It has the kenmore cover and is under a roof so this is not normal.
Charbroil grills are ugly but proved to be better quality than Kenmore.

Great grill, heats up fast, not that hard to put together, did it on my own in an afternoon just alittle time consuming, I would recommend getting it pre assembled if you can. The searer works great for steaks.

I bought this grill after looking at and wanting a Weber Spirit E-310, but thought that Weber was a bit overpriced and they hardly ever go on sale. The SEARS sales rep explained a lot to me about the Kenmore grills and I purchased this unit (a red one). I grilled on it last weekend and found out that it does heat up fast and you have to watch the temp. The one thing that I have found out is that the on-board thermometer is NOT accurate. I thought it was, but it was not working properly. I tested the temp inside using a probed temp sensor and the temps were about 200 degrees apart. The probe said 200 degrees and the grill's temp gauge said it was 400-425 degrees. I believe the wired probe temp sensor. It could be a defective grill temp sensor, but I will use my probe from now on when cooking. The unit is nice looking and grills food nicely. I wrapped the entire metal drip pan in aluminum foil and molded it to the pan. All I have to do now is remove the pan, change the aluminum foil and everything down there stays clean and hopefully, not rust out. I particularly like the enameled finish of the grill. It is easy to clean. The one other thing that I do not care for is the one "non-castered" wheel. It makes it a little difficult to pull away from a wall, but I am sure that can be modified later.
